COMMunITY VOICES

Everyday members of the Bloomington community are on the front lines of this problems. Police officers, firefighters, social service workers, members of CASA, volunteers, and citizens are doing their part to make our community a better place. These are some of their stories.

This site was created by the Mayor's Office of Innovation utilizing data provided by the Bloomington Police Department, Bloomington Fire Department, Controller's Office, Parks and Recreation Department, Housing and Neighborhood Development Department, Monroe County Department of Health, Monroe County Court Appointed Special Advocates, Shalom Community Center, Monroe County Prosecutor's Office, Indiana State Department of Health, IU Health Bloomington, DataUSA.io, and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority.

This site was developed in conjunction with the Safety, Civility and Justice Metrics Team. The team was formed in August of 2017 following a recommendation by the Safety, Civility and Justice Task Force to create metrics related to Bloomington's safety, civility, and justice issues. The SCJ Metrics team was comprised of representatives from the Community and Family Resources Department, the Bloomington Fire Department, the Bloomington Police Department, the Parks and Recreation Department, the Monroe County Health Department and the Mayor's Office of Innovation. Since August, the team has met twice a month to propose metrics, gather data, and discuss how that data should influence city policy.
